Excellent quick video on what it’s like being in a big fandom post 2020

There’s one person (or at least I think it’s one person) that every once in a while makes these “call out posts” where it’s just this giant rant about how they’re mad AO3 keeps taking down their posts because they treat it like social media and don’t actually write fics (there was also mentions of potentially plagiarizing something?) and they’ll tag it in a bunch of big fandoms trying to get attention. I’ve only ever seen these up for a couple hours as they quickly get reported for NOT BEING

FANWORKS and I’ve seen a few comments trying to explain to this person that AO3 is not social media.

I think I saw a person (maybe the same?) on this group months ago. Honestly, if the young fandom people hunger for fanfic meets social media, they need to head to Wattpad. It’s a shame they don’t start start there and the website is lowkey dying because of it

Wattpad started doing the whole “makes the free version almost unusable with ads then sell a premium version” thing but Tumblr is still an option if they want a more social media feel.

Interesting. Wattpad works fine for me on my computer, and I haven’t had the app in ages But yeah I joined Wattpad right when they started to roll out premium

Basically you get an ad every other chapter plus an additional ad every 15 minutes of reading so if you read slow or the chapters are long you’re stuck with an unskippable ad after every chapter.

… laptop plus adblocker fixes that for me if ur looking, but the base problem of having that ad invasion to fix still sucks
